    GPS on Benchmarks

    As a Thanksgiving (maybe early Christmas, or start of new year) gift NGS has extended the deadline for submitting data for inclusion in the GPS on Benchmarks program. I know that I have wanted to add some of my local benchmarks to assure that when the new system is released my JAVAD system will...

    ALTA/NSPS Relative Positional Precision

    As of February 23, 2021 the "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys" and the associated "Measurement Standards" have been changed. As a result of this change I believe it would be appreciated if the JAVAD team provided us with a second option when requesting a...

    Reading the report(s)

    I am working on an ALTA/NSPS Title Survey and attempting to check my results for conformity to the "Positional Precision" and "Relative Positional Precision". When reading the JAVAD reports am I correct in my assumption that the "95% Confidence Ellipse" published as "σa" is the "Semi-major...

    Texas

    The national news says it's COLD in Texas. There may be personal and business emergencies that the rest of us don't know about and could help with. I know that Shawn B. has taken his personal time to help most of us. Shawn (and other JAVAD users that are cold), is there anything any of us can...

    Passive Benchmarks

    We have several projects and areas that we return to often. We want our measurements to agree over time and therefore we set passive benchmarks (horizontal and vertical) and return to these marks for project and regional control. We would like to make the passive mark data as precise and...

    Satellites Icon

    One of my LS units appears to have a glitch that I need help fixing. Occasionally the (Satellites/Receiver Name) screen icon on the top roe (near the center) will flash red. When the icon is red I can't collect data. Sometimes I can fix this by rebooting. However, sometimes the only cure is...

    LS Camera Specifications?

    We have a drone and process the drone images using Pix 4D software. As we understand it we can import images from other cameras into Pix 4D and process these images along with our drone images if we have the necessary camera specifications. Is anyone else doing this? Where can I find the LS...

    Accept/Reject request

    When I am in the field I am very often not near my LS as it is collecting data. Sometimes I am 20 to 50 feet away for various reasons. It is now necessary for me to get my old eyes close to the LS in order to determine if the cycle has finished and verified and waiting for me to accept or...

    Mix & Match -- Hotspot & UHF

    I often have a base that has great Cell/hotspot coverage. However when I get to the job I don't have cell coverage or a good place to set a base. I work in the mountains and communication and sky are major issues for me. I can often get a spot that is within cell coverage and close enough to...

    Spell check

    It is my memory that the Forum checked, and gave me the opportunity to correct, my spelling and grammar as I was typing my message (spell check). That function is no longer working for me. Do you have any suggestions about how to enable spell and grammer check, or am I dreaming?

    Battery Light

    The Battery Light on my T-2 (#727) flashes red when charging. In the past the light would turn solid red when I first connected it to the charger, then flash red until it was charged. When fully charged it would turn solid green. Now it turns to a flashing red, but never indicates that it is...

    No Satellites

    Adam, Thanks for your help this morning. As you recall; when I started my LS the Satellite Icon (Home Screen, Top row, 6th from the left: it shows the unit number and an image of a satellite) was flashing, and the unit would not track any satellites. To fix the issue; you advised me to check...

    Join Observations

    I have an action profile that allows me to gather data for at least five minutes, and if all other criteria are meet, then store the point, auto restart, and do it again; repeating this process until I manually stop the rover and either accept or reject the last point. I then averge or cluster...

    White Box Request

    There are two white box options that I would like to see. They may exist, but I can't find them. 1) I would like to place more than one PDelta box on my screen. Often I am looking for a corner and a distance from two other corners (seperate) or locations would be helpful. I sometimes can use...

    Snow and Multipath

    Now that winter is almost over the question of snow and multipath comes to mind. (An indication that I am a slow thinker!) As the snow depth decreases, and the surface gets harder through the process of melt and refreeze; is there a multipath issue associated with gathering data on "ground"...

    The User’s manual

    The User’s manual for the LS is one of the best on the market. I would like to suggest/request some changes/additions: 1) Change the page numbering system. The way it is presently set up; if there is a page added near the front of the manual, the whole manual must be reprinted. A system...

    Trade-In Program

    How do I know if I want to trade in. Is there a list somewhere that list unit number vs. features? Or do I just want to trade in because of wear and tear?

    National Spatial Reference System of 2022 (NSRS2022)

    As the world changes, we are informed that the (US) National Geodetic Survey (NGS) intends to implement a new Geospatial Reference System by 2022. The new system will be known as the National Spatial Reference System of 2022 (NSRS2022). I am curious to know if the JAVAD team is making plans...
